Chapter 434 Red Cloak or Blue Cloak?

The surrounding light dimmed slightly, not because of the appearance of dark clouds or shadows, but because an even brighter presence appeared—the brown-haired girl!
In an instant, it was as if a powerful spotlight had been turned on, and the stage lights, like those of a superstar, shone on her, making everything around her seem dim in stark contrast.

Hallelujah~~

A faint hymn seemed to echo in the void, and the sprint to the end of the century, which should have been unstoppable and crushed everything in its path like a tank, actually stopped in front of this seemingly harmless girl.

Needless to say, everyone present stopped fleeing as if they had pressed the pause button.

With an adorable round face, the girl stood tall and proud, cupping her hands in a cylindrical shape, and shouted loudly with utmost seriousness, her speech incredibly fast, as if she were chanting some kind of incantation.

"Mr. Giant, you can't do that!"

"A student's duty is to go to school! Being late for school is unacceptable! But today, Mr. Giant's appearance caused a disturbance! Causing a disturbance is wrong! It's a mistake! Students will be late! Being late is also wrong! Of course, I know it's not Mr. Giant's fault, but anyway..."

The girl spoke with great emotion and used extremely rich body language, as if she were performing in an opera, and it seemed that when she opened her mouth, the whole world had to listen to her voice.

A large group of ordinary people who had already fled appeared behind her as if they had teleported, acting as spectators and pointing at the giant. The empty street was once again packed with people.

"This is really... inexplicable."

Ryuko and his two companions finally arrived, only to be held captive by the holy light and chanting for several seconds. Upon closer listening, they discovered that it was all just seemingly reasonable nonsense.

For example, the repetitive phrase "Students must go to school" that makes them want to raise their hands and applaud is able to force them to stay in place and unable to move.

That's why Ryuko felt so confused.

The kid who just jumped out and tried to scam Jagi was inexplicable, the mushroom-headed girl blocking his way was inexplicable, and now this stage setup suddenly unfolding was even more inexplicable!

The street was completely empty until just now, so where did they come from?

I don’t understand it at all!

If Jagi were truly a giant, rather than just someone who had grown to a gigantic size, he would have crushed all these guys into tiny pancakes with a single stomp... To the naked eye, it would be impossible to tell the difference, so should we admire their boldness or their fearlessness?

"No, maybe he's just a simple idiot."

The usually meticulous Flame Haze felt her worldview being challenged. She wasn't an illiterate person who hadn't attended high school, but at this moment, she couldn't help but think—

What exactly is Honnoji Academy?
Where common sense doesn't exist (seriously).

Unlike Ryuko and his friends, who were in a state of chaos, Jagi, facing this girl who exuded an aura of "holiness," only wanted to say one thing—

"Where did this 'Godly Traveler' Haruya Hino (Hallelujah) come from?"

However, I'm sorry.

At an angle so high that even craning your neck would break, Jagi gave me a look that said, "Words won't stop me," and then shouted:
"Red cape or yellow cape!"

"What, what cape?"

The unknown, mysterious girl, who was right next to him, seemed not to have heard clearly, but the next second, a fist, carrying a pressure a hundred times greater than that of a real object, rapidly approached the ground!

"wrong answer!"

The giant fist thundered and shattered the air, crushing everything in its path and creating a series of extremely violent hurricanes!
"Guwa guwa!"

"It flew?!"

It happened! The bodies of the nearest hundreds of humans flew through the air like scraps of paper, as if they had been blown into the sky by a powerful bomb, and then fell to the ground under the influence of gravity. This included the girl who was closest to them.

"Oh no—wait, it's done?!"

As luck would have it, the girl who fell from the sky landed right in the arms of Ryuko Matoi, who was watching from the sidelines.

"Ah?"

The girl, with her eyes closed, screamed and thrashed about in Ryuko's arms for a while, then suddenly realized that she seemed to be perfectly fine.

"thanks, thanks."

She quickly jumped out of Ryuko's arms, grabbed her hand, and shook it up and down in a blur to express her gratitude.

"I am Mako of the Mitsukami. I will definitely repay you in the future, but I have to go after Mr. Titan now! Goodbye!"

Before Ryuko could even process the series of events, the incredibly free-spirited Mako immediately locked onto Jagi, who was leaving, and took off running, leaving a trail of afterimages shaped like wheels.

"what the hell."

Only Ryuko Matoi remained, dumbfounded.

Her strong values, which she had built up over the years, seemed to be slowly crumbling.

"Hurry and chase after them!"

Dr. Chan, having been around for over a decade, possessed a strong mental fortitude and quickly calmed down from this scene that defied common sense. He then followed the path that had been cleared leading directly to the Honnoji Academy.

However, when it comes to being inexplicably strange, Jagi is by no means inferior to that girl named Mankanshiki Mako.

He laughed heartily as he strode across the street with legs that appeared to be at least ten meters long. Whenever an NPC appeared in his way, he would immediately repeat the same question.

"Red cape or blue cape!"

"I wasn't wearing a cape... Goohoo!"

"Wrong answer! Eeya ya ya ya ya!"

A violent burst of airflow erupted as the giant fist crashed down, creating concentric circles of expanding white shockwaves that sent a massive throng of people flying into the sky once more.

"Red cape or blue cape!"

"Red cape!"

"wrong!"

"I know, I know! It must be the Blue Cloak!"

“Still wrong!”

Boom boom boom boom boom—

He transforms into a master of ground cleanup, and after each question and answer session, a missile-like giant fist falls, sweeping away everyone blocking his way to Honnouji Academy. Each strike triggers a magnitude 4 to 5 earthquake.

Of course, even in this place that has briefly become a comedy set, the basic principles of a comedy film still apply. No matter how severe the aftershocks, even falling from a height that could kill ten people, no one will easily die. Despite so many people being launched from the ground and experiencing the taste of human cannonballs, actually only a handful were injured.

"Red cape or blue cape? I'm specifically asking you to choose both!"

"There's absolutely no way you could answer that!"

"Wow, it's that weirdo asking nonsensical questions! Everyone, run!"

"Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong! Utterly wrong!"

No matter how fast ordinary students and parents run, they can't outrun Jagi, and every guy who gets caught up gives his answer before taking off, hoping to guess correctly.

Unfortunately, they could never have guessed Beidou Lao San's thought process, so there was only one outcome for them—they all flew away!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
While dodging the human meteors falling from the sky, Ryuko and her two companions maintained a steady pace, and at the same time, they keenly noticed that some students were wearing different uniforms and were in different states.

Those wearing ordinary white school uniforms knelt on the ground groaning for a while before getting up, while those with a gold star on their clothes were able to stand up again very quickly after falling down.

Judging from the appearance of stars on their clothes, it seems to be an important criterion for classifying students into different levels.

"Has that guy forgotten what he's supposed to be doing, completely immersed in his art, oblivious to the world around him?"

Ryuko asked.

"I think he's thriving in this environment because it's so perfect for him..."

Although Shana was reluctant to admit it, based on her understanding of Jagi, his behavior pattern was perhaps the most efficient in this supernatural place.

If she came here alone, she probably wouldn't be able to leave that slum in a day.

Who can be more like a local than the locals?

"Coming!"

Ryuko looked up and saw the huge, continuous wall that firmly guarded the things inside, making the massive building, which resembled a prison, the legendary "Honnoji Academy"!
……

Although a small number of students with only one star or no stars at all were unusually absent from school, more than half of the students still entered the academy on time.

The academy's walls are like an isolated utopia, keeping those inside and outside unaware of what is happening on the other side, hiding secrets unknown to others.

Boom! Boom!

The thunderous sound, like waves, approached from afar.

"What's going on? Is it going to rain?"

Many students looked up at the sky, only to find, to their great surprise, that they could not see a single cloud.

"Then, what is that?"

Someone gasped in surprise, and then…

They saw a pair of hands—a pair of enormous hands, seemingly capable of grasping stars and the moon—reaching out from beyond the academy's walls, resting on the insurmountable barrier, and gently pushing…

The rubble at the top of the wall crumbled, appearing as fragile as tofu under those hands. Visibly, dirt and dust gushed from the ground and shot into the sky, reaching a height of more than ten meters. A powerful aura emanated from outside the wall, pressing down heavily on the hearts of thousands of students!
"How is that possible? That wall is fifty meters high!!"

I wonder which guy actually said such a famous line on the spot.

Although there are many people in this world who can temporarily amplify themselves through their charisma, such as the Four Heavenly Kings Disciplinary Committee Chairman [Geko-no-Kake], who is a man with a strong physique and often uses his imposing figure to instill fear in all students.

but!
So far, only those between three and fifteen meters tall have been discovered. There has never been a giant who was more than fifty meters tall!

"It's a natural disaster!"

"Aliens have invaded!"

Under such overwhelming power, they were as powerless as trembling ants!
"quiet!"

Just before the panicked students were about to completely lose control, a stern voice resounded throughout the entire academy, and in an instant, all the restless students quieted down.

brush--

Suddenly, five imposing figures climbed onto the crumbling wall of the academy. Four of them stood behind the leader, their expressions respectful.

Light!
A blinding light, so intense it made it impossible to open one's eyes, suddenly burst forth from the figure at the very front, turning the entire horizon golden. The light progressed inch by inch, like rays of light.

As the light gradually faded, the lower-level students were finally able to see that the leader was a tall and slender woman!
He had long, black hair that flowed smoothly down his back. He had a cold and stern expression, wore a pure white uniform, and stood firmly on the wall, holding a long sword.

Just a few glances at it are enough to make you feel incredibly scared. It exudes an undeniable domineering aura from the inside out, as if it has the immense power to control the world.

And throughout the entire academy, only one person possesses such power—

The student council president is none other than Kiryuin Satsuki!
Just as he had been blocked by the mushroom-headed girl before, the giant stopped in his tracks before the wall this time and repeated his question:
"Red cape or blue cape!"

Excuse me, but I must interrupt before continuing to describe the unparalleled instincts of the North Star Man.

Have you ever heard of the eccentric man of the century?
"Red Cloak and Blue Cloak" is one of the urban legends of Japanese school campuses during the Showa era.

Entering the empty school restroom late at night, you might hear a voice asking at a certain moment, "Which is better, the blue cape or the red cape?"

If the answer is "yes" to the red cloak, countless daggers will fall from the sky, piercing the victim's back, staining their entire body with blood, as if they were wearing a red cloak.

If the victim answers "blue cloak is good," all the blood in their body will be drained, turning them blue, as if they are wearing a blue cloak.

No matter which side you choose, a terrifying judgment will mercilessly descend. Regardless of the answer, the eccentric person who cannot be satisfied is essentially untouchable for ordinary people. It is an extremely difficult and supernatural situation to deal with.

—This is what is known as the eccentric of the century.

With a stern gaze, she met the giant's eyes, which was about to invade her territory. Once again, a burst of golden light erupted from the girl named Kiryuin Satsuki. Her signature thick eyebrows remained unmoved, and she did not waver at all in front of the terrifying giant.

Then, everyone in the entire Instinct Academy clearly heard her incredibly authoritative voice:
My answer is—a vest and cape!!!

The Strange Man of the Century doesn't expect answers born of fear; its purpose in asking questions is actually singular—

"Life and death are preordained; make the choice you most desire according to your own will!"

"bingo!"
